GDBM_DUMP(1)		      GDBM User	Reference		  GDBM_DUMP(1)

NAME
       gdbm_dump - dump	a GDBM database	to a file

SYNOPSIS
       gdbm_dump [-H FMT] [--format=FMT] DB_FILE [FILE]

       gdbm_dump [-Vh] [--help]	[--usage] [--version]

DESCRIPTION
       The  gdbm_dump utility creates a	dump of	the specified gdbm(3) database
       file.  The name for the output dump file	is supplied by the second  ar-
       gument  (FILE).	 If not	specified, the output goes to the standard er-
       ror.

       The created dump	can be given as	argument to the	 gdbm_load(1)  utility
       in order	to re-create an	exact copy of the DB_FILE.

OPTIONS
       -H, --format=FMT
	      Select dump format.  The value binary (or	0) instructs gdbm_dump
	      to  produce a binary dump, compatible with earlier gdbm versions
	      (up to version 1.9).  The	value ascii (or	 1)  instructs	it  to
	      create  an ASCII dump (this is the default).  The	latter is pre-
	      ferred because, apart from the actual  data,  it	also  contains
	      meta-information	which  will  allow gdbm_load(1)	to recreate an
	      exact copy of the	file.

       -h, --help
	      Print a short usage summary.

       --usage
	      Print a list of available	options.

       -V, --version
	      Print program version
